Q: What are the weaknesses for Dark Type Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet?

A: In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Dark Type Pokemon are primarily weak against Bug, Fairy, and Fighting moves. However, you should be mindful of dual types, which can alter these weaknesses. For instance, Dark/Poison Dual Types like Stunky and Skuntank have different vulnerabilities compared to a pure Dark Type.

Q: How do dual types affect Dark Type Pokemon strengths and weaknesses?

A: Dual typing can complicate the strengths and weaknesses for Dark Type Pokemon. For example, while pure Dark Types are weak to Bug, Fairy, and Fighting, Dark/Ghost Types like Sableye and Spiritomb are solely weak to Fairy. Similarly, Dark/Ground Types have vulnerabilities to moves like Bug, Fairy, Fighting, Grass, Ice, and Water. Using a type calculator can help navigate these intricacies without memorizing or resorting to charts.

Q: Against which Pokemon types are Dark Type moves most and least effective?

A: In terms of offense, Dark Type moves in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are super effective against Ghost and Psychic. However, they're not very effective when used against Dark, Fairy, and Fighting types. But, as always, consider dual typings as they can change the dynamics of these matchups.
